The history of the North German Mission Society (established 1836 in Hamburg) and its activity on the West African coast (from 1847 onwards among the Ewe, in what is now Ghana and Togo where it was and still is known as the âBremen Missionâ) mirrors neatly the various phases of the idea of âmissionâ: its composite motivation (Enlightenment, humanism and Pietism); the rejection of a narrow denominationalism (though the management of the mission was from 1850 onwards in the hands of the societyâs Bremen branch which belonged to the Reformed tradition); the entanglement of mission and overseas trade; the ambivalent attitude towards imperialism; the shaping of the missionary process as a profoundly educational one; the growing independence of the African church when the German missionaries were imprisoned (World War I) and prevented from returning to their posts (one of the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles); the missionâs eventual loss of usefulness to the African church after 1945, its attempt at re-inventing itself as an agency for development and inter-church aid; and, finally, the Pentecostal rebellion of African Christians (church schisms) against the new theological orthodoxy of inculturation and Africanisation. The focus of the present article is on only one of the facets of this complex narrative - the remarkable attempt of the Bremen Mission actively to transform Africans, through a highly distinctive process of educational intervention, into African Christians. The design of this intervention was drafted by Franz Michael Zahn, the missionâs Director from 1862 to 1900.View full textDownload full textKeywordseducation, mission, West Africa, inculturation, Franz Michael ZahnRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13617672.2011.600821

机译：北德宣教协会（1836年在汉堡成立）的历史及其在西非海岸的活动（从1847年开始在母羊中，现在在加纳和多哥一直存在，至今仍被称为“不来梅”） Mission（任务）清晰地反映了“任务”概念的各个阶段：其综合动机（启蒙，人本主义和虔诚主义）；拒绝狭narrow的宗派主义（尽管特派团的管理是从1850年开始的，属于该协会不来梅分支机构，属于不动产改革组织）；使团与海外贸易纠缠；对帝国主义的矛盾态度；将传教过程塑造成具有深远教育意义的过程；当德国传教士入狱（第一次世界大战）并阻止其返回岗位时，非洲教会的独立性日渐增强（《凡尔赛条约》的后果之一）； 1945年后，该特派团最终失去了对非洲教会的用处，并试图将自己重新树立为发展和教会间援助的机构；最后，非洲基督教徒的五旬节叛乱（教会分裂）反对文化和非洲化的新神学正统观念。本文的重点仅是这一复杂叙述的一个方面，即不来梅使团通过非同寻常的教育干预，通过非同寻常的积极努力，将非洲人转变为非洲基督徒的杰出尝试。此干预措施的设计由任务负责人Franz Michael Zahn在1862年至1900年间起草。查看全文下载全文关键字教育，任务，西非，文化，Franz Michael Zahn相关变量var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，services_compact：“ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，可口，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，发布：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13617672.2011.600821
